This time I’m sharing with you this tasty shredded duck breast in the plum sauce recipe. Meat can be used either for snacks, lunch boxes, hamburgers or just with salads – as you wish. This recipe was born accidentally – I knew that I need to make lunch, so I left the meat to cook for 3 hours 😀 When I was doing other jobs, the dish has been already done. I only needed to put some effort into making the sauce. If you don’t like plums, I recommend cooking this duck the same way but instead of serving with plum sauce, serve with hoisin or barbecue sauce – it will be astonishing! I only had duck breast, but for this recipe, I would recommend cooking a whole duck. You should cook for 4 hours, this way duck will be juicier.

Finally pour soy sauce, honey, rice wine, chili sauce and crushed plums. Heat the fire to maximum, when it's boiled, reduce heat. Stir for 15 - 20 minutes until the plums get soft.
